Adrian,
If you see in the status screen of Adaware se program the date:
14.01.08
It's ok and you have to scan your pc and do the necessary steps to remove the
critical, and the others tracking, if you wish and all is right.

Hi, Max. I'm not sure how I find that information from the AdAware screen.
Following Moti's message, I downloaded the January 14 definitions file, and
even though I got no confirmation that the unzip was successful, my
programs\Lavasoft folder shows it. However, when I run AdAware again, I get the
message saying my definitions are out of date, while the latest update
reflected in status is December 27.
I wonder if you, Moti, Yardbird or Matthew, all of whom have looked into
this, experience anything different. Perhaps my system is protected, despite
this inconsistent information. I just can't be sure.

You will know if you are still being protected by looking at the date of the
definition file being used from the Ad-Aware screen. You will need to check
each week to get the latest file. Max..

Thanks. I solved the installation problem but, as others have written, the
program continues to report that it hasn't been updated for a certain period of
time. So we have no reliable assurance that we are being protected.

Hi, I do not have the program installed as I am using windows vista and not
sure if It will work.

Matthew,
Thanks for doing something constructive to solve this problem.
However, I'm wondering whether you were able to get this method to work. I
followed the link you forwarded to the list and downloaded the zip file. It
wasn't set up to unzip into the Lavasoft program files, so I unzipped it into
my unzipped files folder and copied it into the Lavasoft program files in My
Computer. I opened AdAware, performed a new scan and closed AdAware. Then I
went to the Lavasoft application in the programs under Start. I was advised
that my definition files are still eighteen days old.
I wonder if I'm doing anything wrong in the procedure I've outlined. Either
way, I would recommend that lavasoft do two things to make this manual process
more practical:
1. Ensure that the appropriate Lavasoft folder is specified for the Unzip
wizard.
2. Set up an email list to notify us when new definition files are available.
Again, many thanks. Please let me know if you see an error in the procedure I
describe.

Hello Matthew,
Please accept our sincere apologies for delays on developing our new product
so that it is compatible with your needs. As you know, we are addressing the
issue this year.
In the meantime, you are welcome to continue to use Ad-Aware SE Personal for
as long as we are able to provide updates to Ad-Aware SE's threat database.
Lavasoft plans to continue to provide updates to the Ad-Aware SE threat
database well into this year.
In order to continue to keep Ad-Aware SE Personal updated, you will need to
perform manual updates when new Definitions Files are released. Here are the
instructions for performing a manual update for Ad-Aware SE:
- Close Ad-Aware SE.
- Download the latest Definitions File in ZIP format here
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip and save the file to a temporary
location. - Unzip the contents of the file either with a ZIP utility or with
the built-in support in Windows to the Ad-Aware SE installation directory,
which usually is "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware
SE\".
- Open Ad-Aware SE.
- Confirm that the latest Definitions File is installed by checking the
"Initialization Status" in the main program window.
Best regards,

freedomscientific and now also using window-eyes from gwmicro. Are there any
plans to make the software to make it more accessible? I understand thatthis is
being worked on wih freedomscientific, but whart about gwmicros window-eyess. I
would like to know what is goiing on with the
program as a blind user myself.
Thnks agan for your time and effer to respond on the matter as I feel that is
very importent for me to keep my pc safe.
